Manufacturer's Description

The Talk Now! Range is the world's best selling language learning CD-ROM series for beginners, used by more than eight million people to date. Talk Now! caters for all types of beginner: young learners from the age of 4, families, students and people going abroad with no knowledge of the language. It is simple to use, with no installation required - the program runs straight from the CD, and is compatible with the latest versions of Mac and Windows.

Eurotalk software is completely intuitive - the simple interface means that learning is as easy as pointing and clicking. Speech recording allows you to record your voice and compare it with native speakers. Quiz yourself with 2 levels of difficulty to test what you've learnt - earn points and monitor your progress, then take on the memory man and get the maximum possible 1800 points to receive the gold award! Learn at your computer - or alternatively, print out pages of the printable picture dictionary, or you can learn on the move using the iPod application.

Above all, EuroTalk discs are designed to be fun. Research in the early 1990s at the University of California revealed that memory is greatly improved when accompanied by fun and laughter. Our quizzes, games and stories provide this and you will be amazed how much you remember after a surprisingly short time devoted to a disc.

Customer Reviews

Seriously overpriced! Look for better alternatives.
If you're looking to learn a series of key words and phrases there are far cheaper alternatives. If getting some degree of proficiency in the language is your aim, avoid this and indeed other "Talk-now" programs. You'd be far better served with a course book and a tape...think of the excellent "Colloquial" series or some other book/tape courses but PLEASE, avoid this overpriced phrase 'book'nonsense like the plague, its truely awful. I've been forced to give it one star only because I can't give it a zero...then again, it comes in a pretty box!

talk now?not quite
if you seriously want to learn the language, this program will only teach you to count a little, name some fruit and veg. recognize some colours but you won't be able to TALK NOW. Very basic but fun for the kids to play with.

Talk Now
Very good program to learn foreign language especially for beginners. I really liked the idea of learning foreign language and having fun at the same time.
